This all goes back to the CIA triangle. Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. An attacker will try to compromise 1 of those 3 components.

@jhtech86 said in 3D Printed House:

These can easily be deployed in poor countries to print houses. The best part in my opinion is the lack of a need for any concrete. These machines can print houses with nothing but dirt and water. For those of you that want the machine to build bigger perfect homes complete with duct work, electrical, and wiring that might not sound great, but for homeless people in poverty stricken countries that's a win.

Concrete mix is a far cry form dirt and water.

My answer to the OP. I mean I am not saying MS is good or bad, or Linux OS's are good or bad. But the OP was just a whiny bitch.

So this isn't something @travisdh1 would want to build and leave around?

Maybe in someone else's house. I haven't jumped on the automated assistant thing yet, I'm still quite leery of having something like that in the house.... yes, I know I carry one around in my pocket with the phone. Doesn't mean I use it.

Also doesn't mean you want yet another one reporting everything you say to the NSA.

@dafyre Are you sure you don't wear a tin foil hat as well? 😉

*quickly whips something shiney and metallic looking behind his back*

Who? Me. Never! *coughs to cover the sound of crumbled up tin foil landing in the trash can*

I'm not going to knock the article, cause I do agree, Linux Distros are constantly becoming better, and software developers are realizing they can still make a dime by developing their software so it works on Linux.

My issue is in the work-space and stupid black box appliances that require archaic software to operate that keeps me tethered to Windows.

If I could rip those solutions out, I'd be using CentOS as my daily office driver.

None of that is the EdgeMax series.

That is all the original wireless stuff before even the Unifi line.

Yes it is all still currently available, but not nearly as horrible as that article is trying to insinuate.

All that gear should be behind a router normally.

Ya I was looking through it and noticed that. The tough switch was in there, but that's the only non bridge type device I saw.

The tough switch has been a dead product for years.

Ah didn't realize that. I've seen it for sale a few places, but never noticed they weren't produced any more.

It might still be produced, but it has not been developed against at all.

@scottalanmiller said in UK to block Kodi streams:

So in the UK, sports franchises now have "ownership" of the Internet and can determine your right to use your own data? Reading the ruling, they are going to block any Kodi server they want, even if you own it and are using it for your own content. They literally "own" you now, at least during the hours under which they are doing business - which is something that they determine.

No, they have copyright of the media. The servers being blocked are illegally providing a feed of that media.

Where is the disconnect here?

The league is required to show proof of the illegal stream before the site is blocked.

That's what I was missing, and what I was asking. In that case,it seems reasonable, if hard to do.

According to the article, it is no longer hard to do. That is part of the point.

Although also according to the article, the process is secret, so we don't know what they are doing at all. It does imply that they are supposed to only be blocking illegal streams. I question that it must be obscure to work. They haven't said how they would offer proof, only that they came up with their own method for determining who to block.

This line here insinuates it is simply a digital fingerprint.

Judge Arnold states that technological advances in video fingerprinting can identify illegal streams in near real-time, allowing ISPs to be notified of new servers "nearly instantaneously."

So streaming over HTTPS wouldn't be prevented. Seems like this is going to become more and more useless as the internet moves to encryption as a standard.

That was one expensive joke.

I'm pretty sure this isn't news - i.e. it was anounced a month or more ago.

this offer applies to personal computers running on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. The only difference is, the offer is exclusive for businesses that have subscribed to one of the Windows Enterprise plans.

I recall hearing about this requirement for this back then.

@Reid-Cooper said in HPE Acquires Nimble:

This will really lower competition in the SAN space. Only a few viable vendors left. Nimble was one of the few major players.

I disagree. What about Tintri, Kaminario, or Tegile? There are still plenty of vendors out there in Nimble's competitive tier. I mean they don't compare to HDS or IBM but again, Nimble is a completely different use case.

Honestly I think it would have made more sense for HPE to acquire Tintri for their portfolio at a reasonable price. Nimble is awesome for its own use case, but the acquisition seemed to be just one of appeasement to shareholders.

Unless they are shifting gears and trying to get more competitive in small-medium markets as an all around vendor (aside from adding Nimble, thinking of them purchasing Aruba a couple years ago as well).

Is this really surprising? They've been pricing themselves out of the market for years..

Well it is specifically Android TV, so if you want the Android TV OS, interface and compatibility. It's a video gaming platform as well as television system.

Its not through. Its a stock Android 5.1 image that requires you to get a media style interface from the Play Store, rather than a "proper" Android TV system.

Weird, maybe they pulled the version. They have Android 7 TV...

@scottalanmiller yes, I my fault. almost sure they were buyed by Dell, but they just provided the software on top of some Dell products.

Yeah, nearly everyone does that. Dell has a good rebranding program.

@scottalanmiller My guess is they are not, haven't talked to them in depth about it yet

The Ryzen results bode well for Naples.
